Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has called on the Federal Government to engage members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in dialogue, stressing that it remained the best option.
The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said it was the only way to prevent the looming war in the eastern part of the country.
He also called on governors from the south and the north to reach a truce on the crisis.
Atiku said, ”I join my party, the APC to call for restraint from all sides in the aggression happening in Abia State.
”We hear each other better if we speak peacefully. Everyone, please stop escalating the situation. Let us dialogue and listen to each other.
”I appreciate our governors both North and South, for their efforts to maintain calm. Meeting with stakeholders is important and should continue.”
